D-Day Luftwaffe attack on USS Ancon

[Sokol1]

Looks like that in D-Day are some more German planes in the air than the usual "see no aircraft, is the Luftwaffe".

Or perhaps some triggerhappy Tempest?

This is fascinating stuff. But, I think there might be some confusion, here. The radio anouncer says that this recording was made in the early stages of the invasion. But the reporter on the scene clearly states "Late in the night of June 6th." He later states that it was now after midnight on the morning of June 7th.
The two fighters that made the first air attack on the invasion were FW-190's flown by ace, "Pips" Priller and is wingman. They made a single pass over the beach. Later in the day, the Luftwaffe arrived on the scene and there were many air attacks that evening. A Mustang squadron even ran into a dozen Stukas! I needn't tell you the results.
